In this episode we visit the construction site of the Albvorlandtunnel between Stuttgart and Um in Germany, where two huge Herrenknecht tunnel drilling machines from Schwanau in Baden-Württemberg are used. They operate Germany's largest and strongest machines. What do the men have to bring along if they want to operate Germany's largest machines safely and how are such mega-aggregates manufactured? The German mechanical engineering industry is world-famous. Men & Machines shows why. Enjoy peeps! It’s Friday!

I appreciate you explaining (comparing) the weight of the largest ring segments in African elephants. I would be interested in how many olympic swimming pools could be filled with the mine tailings. Ah….the weight of the cutter head is comparable to two and one half diesel locomotives. Another documentary compared their subject to the weight of giraffes. All in, miners are a special and unique culture and society. They make modern life better. Keep our miners safe. 😏😏😏😏

It's pretty clear you're not an engineer, those are the official international units. I know what I'm talking about, I worked on Ariane 5 which weight as much as 111 african elephants and have the power of 23671 beavers during their reproducting period (but only from the 3rd of january to the 7th of february).

How many companies produced them, how many would your company create, about how long would they last? These fascinate me, I think there are more in operation than just this one. Most likely there are several of them creating DUMBs and connecting them.

@@forcesightknight there have been many tunneling projects around the world. Flood water control, sewage and transportation. Several companies have built these machines. I'm not sure how long the cutters last. Probably based on hours or cubic feet of a given material being tunneled into. We made tens of thousands of them for a time.

This may be sexist, but the women seem to do all the talking but the men do the work !

Won't the finished tunnel look different with the 2 sides meeting in the middle, first the TBM, which lays concrete rings and second the people using standard tunneling machines that spray concrete around the tunnel walls, floor and roof. They don't lay concrete rings, so I'm thinking that it will look different in the 2 sections that meet in the middle.

Acts differently, acts differently

USA ?

A machine that spins a head and digs through mostly soft dirt. Not even rock. Doesn't even have precision constraints like leveling the head perfectly because the tunnel is built right behind it and the head is kept upright through it's attachment. Yet despite the simplicity, it has 90,000 parts. Requires 1000 specialists with ultra-rare domain knowledge to build. And has a million and one ways to fail during operation. These machines are testaments to the over-engineering, and monumental stupidity of modern day engineers that make everything so much more complicated than it needs to be. I have worked on the most complicated machines in the world. Telecommunication L5 switches. The things I saw engineers justify.. I took a 10 million line code (I kid you not) piece of software and rewrote it with my team down to less than 20,000 lines. It ran faster, worked better, had fewer failures and was completely immune to cosmic rays showering our machines and flipping cpu instructions (this actually happens). Because that's how simple the problems actually were.
